Hey Sue, thanks for reaching out! I know what it's like to have ADHD and struggle with concentration, especially when it comes to important tasks. I'm sorry to hear that you had to drop the courses for this semester and hopefully you'll get the appropriate support needed for next semester. In the meantime, I would suggest making a schedule and goals for your day-to-day living.
You can categorize them if you choose to do so, but recognize it if it's not going to be helpful for you. Also, set up goals that are easily attainable and schedule tasks on a more broader spectrum such as a whole day or a segment of a day instead of an exact time.
I think planning beyond goals and tasks might be helpful as well. Create a on-going grocery list, for example. I find this helps me be better prepared and knowing that I can jot something new down when it comes to mind, as opposed to trying to sit down and come up with the full grocery list on the spot.
I would suggest, a week or two before the new semester starts, reaching out to the department head and let them know you'll need extra accommodations with your classes. Be clear with what you need and what you expect of them, so they're able to provide you with everything to help you succeed.
Wishing you the best of luck!
